Now here is a
song that Annette could really get into. The one thing that Annette
carried with her through her whole career and eventually made her quit
was her shyness. She never ever wanted to sing before a lot of people.
"Telling It to the Daisies" is a song she could identify with because of
her shyness. First it was her father that wanted her to sing and
then her husband, Herman, that would hold a cup of water at her side when
she sang each tune that wanted her to sing. But he did right by her.
He booked all the acts and he got her some of the recording musicians that
could ever be assembled together for any singer. Together these musicians
helped Annette make some of the best records that were ever made.
